elcome to the
official website of Leonard Knight's Salvation Mountain. Salvation Mountain is
located in the lower desert of Southern California in Imperial County just
east of the Salton Sea and about a hour and a half from Palm Springs.
Salvation Mountain is Leonard's tribute to God and his gift to the world with its simple yet powerful message: "God Is Love."
Leonard's passion has lovingly created this brilliant "outsider art " masterpiece
resplendent with not only biblical and religious scripture such as the Lord's
Prayer, John 3:16, and the Sinner's Prayer, but also including flowers, trees,
waterfalls, suns, bluebirds, and many other fascinating and colorful objects.
Salvation Mountain must be seen to be fully appreciated as those who have made
the journey will attest. Its 50 foot height and 150 foot breadth is made
totally of local adobe clay and donated paint and is
truly unique in the United States and probably the world.
From its Sea of Galilee at the
bottom, to the big red heart in the middle, to the cross at
the very top,
the reoccurring theme of "Love" is everywhere at Salvation Mountain.
